I was 16. Little kids were running up and down the hospital halls and I was still coming out of the doping stuff. (Can't spell anasthesia/aneasthezia/??). My son (this boy's father) was the same age and I remember a rough day or two, but don't remember after that. For a full year he would ask about sounds he heard - sounds he had not heard before - like crickets and the icemaker turning on - and was amazed by smells he'd never smelled. I'm hoping for such wonders for this little one.
